Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

If you are clear-eyed, looking at America, and worried about democracy, the lesson is that half-measures and incrementalism are not going to cut it.

The guy who essentially just won the next chancellorship, Friedrich Merz, has been doing a press tour for the past week or so talking about how America under Trump can’t be trusted and promising to investigate Musk for meddling in the German election.

Suggested changes: The far-right AfD, backed by JD Vance and Elon Musk, was rejected by 80 percent of voters, exit polls suggest. Mainstream parties plan to form a coalition without them because voters don't want them to govern.

The host quotes that widely-circulated tweet about how firing JAGs is what you do if you don't want anybody telling you what you're doing is illegal and then Hegseth basically confirms that's why they did it

Which makes it all the more important for Hochul to remove him. Now. “America” isn’t entirely a thing. Our federalism still persists, even amidst … all this. State and local Dems can make it clear—to other Americans and foreigners—that they will still fight corruption risks like this.

Listen to the clip just to hear the deeply unqualified Pete Hegseth sneeringly dismiss a woman who’s a Georgetown law professor, rudely calling her by her first name and saying he’s never heard of her.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

It’s actually a moral imperative. If you can run for office, you must. Women only hold 25 percent of the 500,000 elected positions in America. Because we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu. emergeamerica.org
